New techniques in power control
J. B. Gunn · 1970
Novel improvements in power-supply design will be discussed. One technique reduces weight, bulk and expense by charging a bank of capactors in series from the line and discharging them in parallel into the load. Another development features use of a saturated transistor as a high-current rectifier. Device voltage drops as low as 165 mV at 100 A have been realized.
